US, Israel Upset Over Palestinians Joining ICC

The Palestinian Authority will join the international criminal court beggining in April.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon made the announcement Tuesday.

This would mean the Palestinian leaders could bring war-crime charges against Israel.

The move would also affect the chances of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.

Israel responded to the decision on Saturday, it froze more than $100 million in tax funds collected for the Palestinians.

The U.S. also opposed the move and said it would reveiew its annual $440 million aid package to the Palestinians.
